So was bin Laden at the "Hate Bush" meeting too? Is it so terrible to face the terrorists where we are increasingly prepared for them, Iraq, instead of in Afghanistan, which we just want to settle down and not cause any problems?

Iraq has a much easier terrain to fight in. Plus, I dont think Iraqis take kindly to outsider terrorists and will not support them as actively as local insurgents.

Iraq itself is certainly better ground to fight them on than Afghanistan, with its mountainous terrain. The (Zagros)mountainous Iran border is a bit of a problem, but we don't have to deal with north-western Pakistan.
